Topic Area: Opportunities for Youth
Findings:
Research provides strong evidence that NGYCP improves the educational outcomes of at-risk youth.

A cost-benefit analysis found NGYCP produced large positive benefits.
NGYCP is a multi-component intervention, with little evidence on the effectiveness of specific components.
